Fortunate Young Gentleman

Wang Xiang walked over with vigorous steps, shook his head and said: "How can you take back what you gave away?"

Tang Ning said: "They are some supplements. They were originally intended to be given to Wang Xiang to replenish his body. But now it seems that Wang Xiang won't need them anymore."

"It will be useful sooner or later." Wang Xiang smiled and signaled to the palace servants: "Move it down."

Prime Minister Wang and Tang Ning walked into the inner hall. After sitting down, they looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Prime Minister Tang has returned from Guizhou. Is he bringing some good news?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "The old troops of the Liang Kingdom wanted to restore the country, but now they have been quelled."

Wang Xiang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I know that if Tang Xiang takes action, there will be no problem that cannot be solved. Guizhou will be stable, and the court can concentrate on dealing with the Western Regions."

Tang Ning looked up at him and said, "The land of Guizhou is stable, but the capital is not very stable. As Prime Minister, can Wang Xiang just watch this?"

Wang Xiang knew what he meant. In the few months since he left the capital, the situation in the capital had changed drastically, and there was clearly some blame in his tone.

However, Wang Xiang was not angry. He smiled and said: "It is His Majesty's wish that Prince Duan takes over the Shangshu Province. It is His Majesty's wish that King Huai is squeezed out. Although I am the Prime Minister, I cannot go against His Majesty's wishes... "

Tang Ning looked at the Prime Minister with a smile on her face and said, "Does the Prime Minister mean to support Prince Duan to take over the East Palace and inherit the throne soon?"

The Prime Minister did not admit or deny, but looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Sir Tang, can you watch the country that you and Your Majesty finally settled down, be ruined like this?"

Tangning said nonchalantly, "Yes."

Although he had different feelings for Chen Guo compared to other places, this was all Chen Huang's choice. He didn't care about it anymore. What did Tangning care about?

But Wang Xiang cannot.

He is the prime minister of Chen State, and the Wang family is also a large family in the capital, with countless people behind him. It is impossible for them to watch Chen State turn from prosperity to decline. What's more, once King Duan comes to power, the good days of these people will come to an end.

Prime Minister Wang opened his mouth, but he didn't expect Tangning to answer so simply, which blocked what he wanted to say next.

Tangning naturally saw the change in Wang Xiang's expression.

He wants his granddaughter to be the queen, but he still doesn't want to do anything. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

He stood up, bowed his hands to Prime Minister Wang, and said: "I just came to see Prime Minister Wang today. I hope Prime Minister Wang is fine. I will take my leave..."

Seeing Tangning leave decisively, Wang Xiang stood up, shook his head and said, "This little fox..."

Beijing is now a pool of muddy water, and the situation is changing day by day. He originally wanted to wait and see, but now it seems that he has to take a stand.

A middle-aged man walked in from the outside. Seeing that Wang Xiang's expression was different, he asked doubtfully: "Dad, what did Tang Xiang tell you?"

Wang Xiang did not answer, but said: "Go and invite Academician Zhang here, and tell him that I have important matters to discuss with him..."

…

Tang Ning came out of Prime Minister Wang's home with a smile on her face.

These old foxes have been officials for many years and have worked hard in the court. They are well versed in the ways of being officials. Unless there is a stake in the situation, it is impossible for them to take sides before the situation becomes clear.

But the kings and appearances are different. King Duan or King Run comes to the throne. For the Wang family, it is a huge difference.

Tang Ning believed that Wang Xiang would make the right choice.

After leaving the Wang family, he went to various houses and walked around. The next step was to see if Zhao Man could contact Wei Jian and let him meet Emperor Chen.

The news that Right Minister Tang Ning returned to Beijing soon spread throughout the capital.

Everyone knew that the current Right Chancellor had a deep hatred for the declining Tang family, and naturally he and Prince Duan were in different camps.

In the past few years, the Tang family has been completely defeated by him, but King Duan has survived the desperate situation and bucked the trend. It is obvious that there will be a big collision between King Duan and the Right Prime Minister.

Right Chancellor Tang Ning is a miracle. In just a few years, he climbed to this supreme position and defeated all seemingly impossible opponents. So much so that the people and officials unanimously believed that they should fight against him in the capital. No one has a good ending.

However, this time, no one thought that he could defeat King Duan.

Today is different from the past. The reason why Tang Ning was invincible in the past was because the person standing behind him was His Majesty, and Prince Duan was His Majesty's chosen successor. One was a minister, and the other was his son, the next emperor of the Chen Kingdom. , there is no need to think too much about which side His Majesty will be on.

Thinking back to half a year ago, King Huai had monopolized the power, and King Run gradually appeared in front of the stage. Everyone thought that the throne of His Majesty would fall on one of these two princes, but they did not expect that in just half a year, everything would turn around. King Duan, who was least favored, succeeded in having the last laugh.

But I don't know how the Fang family will feel during this period after King Huai and King Run are behind them.

Within Fang Mansion.

Brothers Fang Hong and Fang Zhe were playing chess. Fang Hong dropped a chess piece and said, "Master Tang is back."

Fang Zhe nodded and said, "It's just the right time to come back."

Fang Hong sighed and said: "I didn't expect that His Majesty's body would collapse at any time. If it takes another five years..."

If in another five years, King Run has fully grown up, Fang Hong is sure that His Majesty will not place all his hopes on King Duan. Unexpectedly, fate plays a trick on people, and His Majesty suddenly becomes seriously ill, disrupting all their plans.

Fang Zhe looked calm and said, "It doesn't matter if we don't have five years."

Fang Hong's thoughts tend to be conservative. If His Majesty can pass the throne to King Run, everyone will naturally be happy. If he persecutes His Majesty as a minister, it will conflict with his belief in loyalty to the emperor over the years.

But he also knew that the Fang family should be the priority and the overall situation should be the priority. By then, he wouldn't be able to care about so much.

If there were outsiders present at this moment, they would definitely be horrified when they heard what the Fang brothers said. Although their tone was calm, what they said was treasonous and ironic...

Prince Huai's Mansion.

King Huai, who had lost his power, was sitting leisurely by the lake with a fishing rod in his hand. A servant stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Tang has returned to the capital."

"I know." As if he was afraid of disturbing the fish in the lake, King Huai's voice was very soft. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to hear what he said.

After the servants retreated, King Huai continued fishing. After a while, Princess Huai came over, looked at the shaking fishing rod, and reminded: "Your Highness, a fish is hooked..."

King Huai turned around, smiled at her, and said, "Don't worry, let it struggle for a while. When it struggles until it has no strength left, it won't be too late to close the pole..."

…

Royal palace, a certain palace in the harem.

Concubine Tang Hui paced in the palace, with a look of impatience on her face.

She had suffered too much at Tang Ning's hands. Ever since she found out that Tang Ning had returned to Beijing, she had been feeling anxious and uneasy.

Tang Qi was sitting in the palace, looked up at her and said, "Now the overall situation has been decided. Even His Majesty has recognized Prince Duan. Tang Ning alone cannot cause any trouble. On the contrary, the more arrogant he is, the more His Majesty will not tolerate him." he……"

Except for special circumstances, foreign ministers were not allowed to enter the emperor's harem.

Tang Qi is now just a commoner, but he can enter and leave the harem at will. From this, it can be seen that this huge harem has completely fallen into the control of Concubine Tang Hui.

"I still feel a little uneasy." Tang Huifei stopped and said, "If Ming'er doesn't become the prince, I won't be able to rest assured."

Tang Qi stood up and asked: "What do you mean..."

A stern look appeared on Concubine Tang Hui's face, and she said: "It will be a long night and many dreams, so it is better to go and see His Majesty to see the late Emperor as soon as possible..."

Your Majesty already has the intention of establishing a prince. If his health deteriorates again, he will have to consider issuing an edict.

Tang Qi looked at Concubine Tang Hui, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay..."

In another part of the palace, Wei Jian walked out of a certain palace, looked at the female officials guarding the palace, sighed leisurely, turned and left.

"Manager Wei..."

While walking through a long corridor somewhere, a faint voice suddenly came to his ears.

He turned his head and looked at a certain pillar, and saw a figure walking out from behind the pillar and said in surprise: "Princess..."
